Electric Power Ocean Wave Energy of the Pendulum System (EPOWER-PS) Technology Researched and Reviewed

Jakarta, Kompas-National Team for the Global Environment Facility Steering Committee is reviewing the proposed construction of Electric Power Ocean Wave Energy plants in the waters of Wakatobi, Sulawesi Tenggara, which will be funded by a grant from the Global Environment Facility. Powerful 5 megawatt power plant project is expected to flow five to eight villages that do not yet have electricity network.

Environment Minister Mohammad Gusti Hatta explained that the proposed construction of a wave power plant is proposed Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, and the Directorate General of Electricity and Energy Utilization, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR).

The proposal was being considered for the national team, GEF screened again at the international level, ", "said Gusti. If possible, the draft will be submitted to the GEF Forum in Washington, United States.

Ocean waves power plant was proposed for GEF grants worth 10 million dollars, including climate change mitigation. "The use of ocean currents to generate electricity that is ecologically clean electrical energy, avoiding the use of fossil fuels, which produce emissions " said Gusti.


The head of the multilateral cooperation of the Ministry of environmental protection, revelation Marjaka explained, the wave energy is expected to generate electricity for the population within five to eight villages in the waters of the Wakatobi. " project is a continuation of the wave of the pilot plant in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Later, you can calculate how much carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced with the creation of the factory, " Wahyu said.

Microhidro


In addition to project Electric Power Ocean Wave Energy of the Pendulum System (EPOWER-PS), Tim GEF National Steering Committee is also reviewing the proposal of the Ministry of Energy to build a network of Micro-Hydro in Indonesia. "GEF Grant is required to start a network of Micro-Hydro power 3.5 million U.S. dollars. Each area has a Micro-Hydro will be counted, how the contribution of carbon emissions reductions from renewable energy," said Wahyu.

The total value of the GEF period 2010 - 2014 reached 87.91 million U.S. dollars. "Everything is pure grants and not just the government who can submit proposals to take advantage of GEF funding Funds can also be exploited college, community, and nongovernmental organizations .. For example, how to prevent forest fires by menabat canal peat in peatlands. Climate change adaptation programs are also needed. No time limit, the proposal can be filed at any time, "said Gusti.
